/vr/ - Retro Games

Lookin' good!

>f-fuck CRTs
>so how are you guys making your LCD's look like a CRT?
This is a bit like saying how much you hate Apple shit and asking how to make W11 look and feel more like OSX.

>>10225116
lmao, that's my laptop screen when I boot it up. Thankfully turning down the brightness a bit fixes it.

LCDChads…do we ever stop winning?

>>10225096
4K OLED with black frame insertion destroys all LCDs

>>10225096
>Lookin good!
Here’s one I other day. What a great game.

>>10225096
I use an old 144hz BenQ monitor and play a lot of Tekken 3 on it. The picture is upscaled with some geometry correction so it doesn't look like complete shit blown up to 1080p
>>10225126
>so how are you guys making your LCD's look like a CRT?
Literally no one said that

The ViewSonic XG2431 is simply the best display made by man
Takes literally any signal
Higher refresh rates than your eyes can even see
Bright enough to light up your entire basement
Perfect colors
Basically no added input lag

>Fell for the Analogue Pocket meme
>Actually regret it
>Worst parts of playing on my modded Game Boys with the worst parts of an emulation handheld
>Very few of the benefits
>Sleep mode and save states don't work right with Everdrives
>Most good Pocket features don't work with FPGA cores, not even the display modes on the GB/GBC/GBA cores
>Might be fixed sometime... maybe
>Worse ergonomics than either my DMG or GBA

let me guess
you need more

>>10225096
Now we're talking. Don't have a pic but this is the TV I use, Vizio VO420E with Onn Streaming Stick for emulation. Works like a charm at a very low price

>>10225096
Bait thread sage and move on

>>10226059

LCDs are better for retrogaming at lower resolutions (480p or less) than LED
thats a fact

uhhh do you care that its BLURRY as shit?????
ufo test brother educate yourself
the only thing flatpanel gaming monitors have on crt is convenience\availability

I hate what i cannot affort/have. The thread.

>>10226163
That is all of /vr/ though. Which is weird because this is a cheap hobby.

>>10226193
>>10226163
fox\grape posters are real
but its not a \vr\ exclusive thing
the quickest way to have hater-shitposters is be doing somewhat well for yourself

>>10225096
CRTs will function longer then flatscreens and can actually be repaired if needed.

>>10226103
>ufo test
Did I fucking stutter

>>10226220
That's just simply untrue
You cannot fix an electron gun in 2023

>>10226220

jokes on you i have both CRT and LCD
the real joke are the ones who live in tiny houses and can't accommodate both kind of TVs

>>10226238
You can fix everything in a crt except the tube obviously, but those will last decades+ unlike flatscreens constantly shitting themselves, hardware designs that actively prevent maintenance and fragile screen designs that will make the entire thing useless once the screen gets hit slightly hard.

Try again in 10 years

>>10225096
I finally saved up enough to get a TV from Costco last year. It is supposed to be a 720p TV which should be era appropriate for my retro Windows 7 computer, but somehow it is able to do 1080p which is disappointing which may imply it is really a 1080p display that may not do nearest neighbor. It seems to be blurry for 720, 768, and 1080 resolutions. I think Best Buy still has a couple of affordable 720p screens, but there's no research nor information on any of these TVs and their prowess for gaming and I'm already burned on this TV. I have to start saving up again, but this time I want to get the right screen for gaming.

>>10225116
>backlight bleed has been fixed over a decade ago, but retards kept buying shit anyways
thankfully ATW polarizers get used more again

>>10225116
why are some bleeds white and some brown?

>>10225096
I would recommend the XG2431, very decent CRT replacement.

>>10226373
The decades already passed shit head
I have a "friend" that dropped 2k on a dim as fuck FW900 that he can't do shit with
As expected, last week he came out as non-binary kek

>>10227986
Based
Again, the best display ever created by man thus far.
I don't even use my original consoles anymore because the BFI option on retroarch looks so damn good on mine.
Hoping it gets merged into mister soon

>>10228238
rentfree

>>10226103
Only good post in this thread.

>>10228238
Yes well your friend is retarded and got scammed and had no buisness fucking with hardware he didn't know shit about. CRTs will outlive your organic expiration date.

>>10226332
that looks comfy af, i'll have to hunt for one of em
>>10226045
I swear I saw one of these at a godwill and passed on it cause of the price, might have to go see if they still have it
>>10226103
I already kow my ideal crt to own is but again too expensive in my area.

>>10226163
>afford
>80 lbs of literal trash you found on the sidewalk
Kek.

>>10228662
Everything you own will become trash, abandon yourself while you're at it

Speaking of which, senseless destruction is the status quo

>>10226804

Let's see you fix this faggot

Looks like you need to clean the glass anon

>>10225126
>how to make W11 look and feel more like OSX.
you dont need to, microsoft already did it for you

>>10229052
wipe the booger off
Problem solved

>>10226804
Still living in 2008 huh?

>>10225096
ok, fresh 18 year old, enjoy your dead thread while you stay mad over grandpa tech that you never had

>>10225096
Did anything ever end up beating the OG VA G7?

>>10227125
The fuck. Just get a 1440p display. Retard.

buy mini-led FIPS monitor -> activate local dimming -> no backlight bleeding

>>10229832
Had a mini led monitor for a month and the local dimming it was terribly distracting.
You need like 8k zones minimum on a 32'' screen (had 500).
And the steps in dimming meant gradients where constantly flickering.

>>10229326
Not in value, the G7 is still a beast for the price.
You'll have to pay much more for a significant upgrade, such as the Neo G8 (4k/240hz miniled), PG27AQN (2k/360hz) or any OLED monitor.

>>10230025
Probably the best monitor I've ever owned. Next monitor will be OLED though.

>>10229009
Retard logic. You literally took trash you found laying in the street into your home and proudly display it.

I went CRT > Plasma > OLED for vidya enjoyment.
In my house I still have all 3, I can enjoy for example 5th gen games on all of them in different ways.
But for example playing Tomb Raider for the first time again in 20 years, experiencing it at 4K resolution on an OLED with surround sound and a DualSense controller was an incredible experience. There has to be at least some upshot to living in this shitty future we inhabit.

>>10228249
>Hoping it gets merged into mister soon
What, BFI? Is that even possible on MiSTer? Most Misterfags just use BFI on their LG OLEDs

>>10230887
Stores lay in streets, what's your point? You enjoy paying for trash? Can't appreciate garbage until you've paid for it? Speak for yourself.

>>10230951
Sanest post here, no point in being fanatical about one display technology while disregarding all the others.
Cant understand why someone would NOT appreciate having a small CRT for analog consoles, a Plasma for HD-era consoles and the OLED for modern gaming. You could even mix and match for shits and giggles.

>>10231107
Aside from plasma, agree
My 4K Oled has a setting called 4pixel 1080p and also does nearest neighbour
